Should I choose "Nightly" in the dropdown to get the ARM64 universal binary?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Firefox doesn't stutter on infinite scroll sites like Twitter. Safari noticeably does, even in Big Sur. So I am torn between the two.
I've not seen Safari stutter as you describe, especially with version 14 which got a big speed boost in general and especially on Big Sur. Here's a link to a tweet showing Safari with 400 tabs on a M1 MacBook Air… the performance is incredible. Turns out Chrome choked and became unresponsive when trying to do the same thing: https://twitter.com/panzer/status/1328790134548905985?s=20

Docker has already addressed that, and a link was posted about it yesterday in HN.
They addressed it, but didn't give any indication when x86 containers will be ready (and how they'll do it). Expect at least next year.

Which is it, because the headline here says 'Beta' but I'm already on the Beta channel and see no update and my architecture is still 'Intel' in Activity Monitor. Should I choose "Nightly" in the dropdown to get the ARM64 universal binary?
+ support Handoff macOS -> iOS
+ text fragment support! [1]
+ nice plugins and (Brave Browser) nice built-in Ad Blocker
+ good performance, but
- memory & cpu heavy (this counts as 2 minus)
- pinned tab can still be closed with `⌘+W`
+ feels smoother and more battery friendly than Chromium based browsers
+ built-in Picture in Picture
- no macOS menu bar function for "Pin Tab", thus making a lot of stuff hard for me
- doesn't support Handoff macOS -> iOS
+ The most battery friendly and lightweight
+ iCloud tabs & Handoff
+ built-in Picture in Picture, but
- activating Picture in Picture is not as easy as Firefox
- No good Vim keybindings emulation
- cannot view rss raw text
- automatically opens related macOS app if any link contains redirect to app

- pinned tabs don't transfer to a new window
The entire 'pinned' premise is out of the window with this

I hate this on iOS. Quite surprised there appears to be no way to disable it globally or per-app as it's such an annoying feature. The only way I know of is to press-and-hold a link to get the context menu, then open it from there... or more usually, uninstall the app in question!

My biggest gripe with FF on MacOS is that they don't include "look up "x"" in the right-click menu.
The PiP in Firefox is a lot better than in Safari. I do wish FF came with better tools for opening PiP for videos that on purpose or on accident hides the PiP-button.
I also think that Safari's back-gesture is a huge plus.

I think it is a good list, and it really shows how close browsers are today, that decisions are made on minor inconveniences like "How does it pin tabs?"
